You’d never guess this ultraluxe resort has been around since 1956, thanks to a complete overhaul two years ago that included a new restaurant from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, a celeb-stylist-led hair salon, and an indoor-outdoor gym. This year’s update: the just-debuted Villa One, a four-bedroom hideout perched above the Sea of Cortez with a glass-enclosed infinity pool, chef’s kitchen, screening room, personal trainer, and 24-hour butler. Maybe invite your friends and turn the honeymoon into a “buddymoon”? (Rooms from $615; oneandonlyresorts.com)

Nature is everywhere you turn at this 130-suite beachside retreat. First, there's the system of mangrove-shaded canals through which you float to arrive at your room by boat. (Expect local driftwood, limestone, and outdoor showers.) Then, there's the spa, which sits on an island in the middle of a lagoon and offers all kinds of traditional Mayan treatments. Next, there are amenities like "floating yoga" classes, in which you're challenged to hold poses while balancing on top of the water (talk about a core workout). Finally, you sit vintage, underneath a canopy of palm trees at the new restaurant, Aqui Me Quedo (translates to "here I stay," in Spanish), served chilled coconut cocktails and antojitos made in a vintage, retro-fitted truck.

Set on a secluded stretch of the Caribbean-fronting Riviera Maya, Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa feels like a beach-jungle oasis. All around you are wide palm trees and a mile of white sand (Maroma Beach is ranked among the best in the world). You'll feel right at home chilling by one of the three pools, napping on the hammock on your balcony, or indulging in a traditional Mayan temezcal ritual at the spa. And why shouldn't you?

Also set within the Mayakoba region of the Riviera Maya, Banyan Tree Mayakoba has a similar back-to-nature vibe—but doesn't skimp on luxury. Expect architectural details that will literally make you stop in your tracks, especially the geometric, connected pools and the restaurant floating above the water amid the mangroves. Also likely to give you pause: "the rainforest" treatment at the spa, complete with a hydrotherapy circuit and a 90-minute massage. (Rooms from $765; banyantree.com)

Want to whale watch on the resort's private yacht? Lounge under a cabana at the Nuna pool? Try a traditional temezcal ritual? There's a reason Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is one of the best honeymoon resorts in Mexico, and it's because it will make all your dreams come true. Especially if those dreams include lots of mezcal-based margaritas. Our pick: the Smoky Colada, a Mexican take on the traditional pineapple and coconut cocktail. (Rooms from $750; fourseasons.com)

From the moment you exit the Mercedes SUV that transports you from the airport, let the gentle sounds of waves crashing on the beach wash over. And the experience of true, upscale Mexican hospitality. Think: Evian mists, binoculars for whale-watching, and any cocktail or snack you can think of—all you have to do is ask! Also worth requesting: A once-in-a-lifetime "Create Your Own Fireworks Display," which allows couples to craft a completely customizable fireworks show that they can launch whenever they choose (within reason) with just the press of a button. (Rooms from $1,460, including taxes and fees; rosewoodhotels.com)

With its intimate setting perched on the bluffs of Punta Ballena, Esperanza feels like a private retreat just outside of Cabo San Lucas. (So if you do want that crazy night of partying, it's a quick ride to downtown.) And with super cozy refreshed guest rooms, an adults-only pool overlooking the ocean, golf course, tennis courts, and yoga and pilates studio, you'll have plenty of opportunities to recover from said night on the town. (Rooms from $550; aubergeresorts.com)

When you look at the activities offered at this mainstay on the Caribbean Sea, you'll be glad everything's included—kayak excursions to scuba lessons, yoga classes, swimming with dolphins, private butler-concierge service in the Grand Class-level suites, even Michelin-star quality dining at the award-winning Spanish and Basque restaurant, Cocina de Autor. Oh and did we mention that entry-level rooms are at least 1,000 square feet? That means plenty of closet space for all those chic beach get-ups. (Rooms from $416 per person, all-inclusive; rivieramaya.grandvelas.com)

Drive 10 minutes from Cancún International Airport and you'd expect to only find big-box resort after big-box resort. But book a stay at this ultraluxe enclave and you'll find a quiet stretch of sand, set apart from the main drag in Cancún, that instantly puts you in the honeymoon spirit. What else will? The ESPA Spa (the only one in Mexico), where you can book a hydrotherapy circuit (hot and cold soaking tubs, sauna, steam, ice room, etc.), which ends with a complimentary head- and foot-massage. Don't be surprised if you fall asleep! (Rooms from $416; nizuc.com)
